News Sabres Team Notes

Buffalo Sabres Open Thread | Week of 2/24

The Buffalo Sabres came back from the 4 Nations break looking for a point to prove, spanking the New York Rangers for the second time this season in an 8-2 rout. Buffalo remain at the bottom of the pile in the Eastern Conference, but with a couple of games in hand on some of their direct wildcard rivals, could yet end up making some noise. Tue, Feb 25th, 7pm EST – Buffalo Sabres (23-27…

Duck Season, Fire!

Score: Sabres 3 | Ducks 2 Shots: BUF 35 | ANA 18 Buffalo Sabres Goals: Anaheim Ducks Goals: Plus 1: Dominant Performance To say Buffalo controlled nearly the entire game would be an understatement. The Sabres put the Ducks on their heels from the opening puck drop. The Ducks couldn’t handle the Sabres forecheck and got pinned in their zone on multiple occasions.

Low Level Deals for Instant Impact

The Athletic recently put out their final Trade Deadline Board for deadline day 2025. Some big time players will be made available. Mikko Rantanen, Casey Mittelstadt and Brock Nelson to name a few. There are many mid tier players that can be had too, that is probably the best the Sabres can muster. I know most of us would like another top six forward, I just don’t see it happening. At least not at…

Game #60 Preview & Open Thread: Sharks vs. Sabres

With the games coming fast and furious, the Sabres find themselves in a sudden 3 game losing streak. They fought back to earn a point last night in Montreal but fell quickly in overtime. The good vibes of winning 6 out of 7 games before that is gone. But Buffalo has a good chance to right the ship tonight.

NHL Trade Deadline Open Thread

Besides one minor league trade back in January, the Buffalo Sabres have not made a deal since last June. That was when the Blue and Gold acquired center Ryan McLeod. So far that has worked out pretty good though the scales could tip down the road. But with the horse hockey season the Sabres are having, it’s quite surprising GM Kevyn Adams has not made one NHL trade yet this calendar year.

Sabres’ Energy and Roster Dwindle in 6-5 Loss Against Lightning

Both teams came out with plenty of energy in the first twenty minutes and the period was far from boring as scoring began fast and furious. A hard shot from Nikita Kucherov early in the period hit Jacob Bryson in front of the net and the Sabres were able to keep the score even – if only for a little while. It took just three more minutes for the home team to strike first following a long pass…
